Sage Northcutt sure is a positive man, and he’s using that gift to its fullest while he steps out of a down period of his fighting career.
The former UFC prospect finally makes his return to competition May 5 at ONE Fight Night 10 in Broomfield, Colo. Northcutt takes on Ahmed Mujtaba in a lightweight bout (170 pounds under ONE Championship rules) in his first fight in nearly four years.
Multiple facial fractures in his KO loss to Cosmo Alexandre in 2019, the halt of the sports world due to the pandemic and complications from COVID-19 have kept Northcutt away from the cage for longer than he wished for.
